Did you import the gpg key for each repo?  I know freshrpms, dags,
fries, livna all have one and I think the rest do also.


Just got to each website and get the link to the GPG Key file and import
it like this

rpm --import http://freshrpms.net/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.txt

Thats for freshrpms.   You only need to do this once for each site not
for every entry in yum.conf.  or in yum.conf turn off gpgcheck

gpgcheck=0

This method is not recommended as the gpg key is used to verify the
authenticity of the rpm.
